Funemployment, Day Fifty One: Shhh! Be Vewwwy Qwiet...I'm Hunting Jobs!

according to mediabistro's fishbowl LA, california's unemployment rate has hit 9.9%, worse than the rest of the country.

not that any of us who turn on the internet or a radio or pick up a newspaper (i'm sure there's one of you out there) need reminding of this, since every day brings news of more layoffs. and unfortunately more than a few of my friends have become funemployed along with me (but haven't yet gotten to the "fun" part). and since i got a head start on the unemployment line i've been asked about recommendations for job sites so i thought i'd list them in case they're of use to anyone else.*

my top three are:
http://www.mediabistro.com/joblistings/
the site overall is a great source for media news, events, classes, etc. and the job listings are always quality (no work-from-home-and-make-millions listings here!)

http://thebiz.variety.com/
this is variety's job site that's trying to morph into a networking site too. they had a great listing the other day for a director of programming for disney channel--i think i'll go for it!! ;)

my friend andy got his new job on this site, and in this economy that's a ringing endorsement!

i'm also on about a million other sites, some listed below. please enjoy, good luck and happy hunting. and of course, feel free to let me know if you stumble across something i might have a shot at!
